that was French for: check out this cool translation site!

http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr

Send your lover a sexy phrase in French: Vous êtes si sexy ! Je veux sauter vos os !

Tell your repuke e-mail pal what you think of him in German: Sie sind ein Idiot! Sie wählten für einen Affen!

Well, I found it fun. :shrug:

on edit: oops

1. Babelfish is very cool.

Try translating something into French, for example, then translating the translation back into English.

[SiouxJ]

3. Bonne idée !

I'm having too much fun with this. Then again, I'm easily amused ;-)

[SiouxJ]

5. Ok, so I just translated my subject line back

into English from French and this is what it said:

Check this fresh site of translation!


EW! Fresh! :-)

[GOPisEvil]

2. That is fun!

German is a such a great language to yell at someone in! :D

On the other hand, you could call someone a vile, disgusting pile of human waste in French and it sounds great! :D See? Vous êtes un morceau vile et répugnant de perte d'humain.

[SiouxJ]

4. I know! That's what I was having fun with

everything sounds sexy (looks sexy) in French.

6. Get's a little lost in the translation!

Try writing something, translate it into any language and then take the translation and translate it back into english. It's a riot!

[SiouxJ]

7. Yeah, that's what I did above

I guess "cool" is "Fresh" in French. Think of all the dirty phrases you can send to "special" people in your life - lol (not that I would ever do such a thing O8) )

9. I tried that with your post

I tried it with your post:

The original:

Try writing something, translate it into any language and then take the translation and translate it back into english. It's a riot!

To Spanish and back:

Try to write something, tradúzcalo to any then language and again takes the translation and tradúzcala within English. It is an uproar!

Makes sense except for the translate/traduzcalo bug. So I tried to Korean and back:

Silence it will split, it wrote to try, translate it with what kind of language and and have go and and and with English after and translate a that time translation and and. It is difficulty east,!

Truly an uproar! :-)

:bounce:

10. Oh stop!

It's such an uproar! My sides are KILLING ME!!

[GOPisEvil]

11. It is difficulty east!!!

And who can forget the classic from the DU hate mail: Conservatives are the smart! :D

[pmbryant]

14. "Conservatives are the smart" ;-)

Take that to Korean and back and it becomes:

Conservatism it is smart sleeps,!

Almost makes more sense then the original. ;-)

My favorite though is based on another recent DU post:

Original:

Tom DeLay just says: Howard Dean is Temperamentally Unfit to be in the White House!

To German and back:

Tom retarded says straight: Howard dekan is Temperamentally, which is unsuitable to be in the white house!

Sometimes babelfish is smarter than it appears. :evilgrin:

--Peter

EDIT: I like the Korean-and-back version as well.

The Tom talks only, it performs: The Howard the dean is to a white household and it is a Unfit Temperamentally,!

The Tom talks only! :bounce:

8. The beauty that is Babelfish

Try translating song-lyrics twice (from English and back to English) and guess the song - it's a good party game.

The German part is a bit off; the correct verb would be "stimmen" ("stimmten").
For a Pal you'd use "Du" (you informal) - "Du bist ein Idiot! Du hast für einen Affen gestimmt." ("Du stimmtest für einen Affen").

:hi:

[SiouxJ]

12. This is true

my German statement above was originally: "You're an idiot, you voted for a monkey!" and when I translated it back it came out: They are an idiot! They selected for an ape!

All the more funny!

on edit: and both are true!

[ronnykmarshall]

13. This is great!

Original: Ronny K Marshall is insane!

To Spanish: ¡Ronny K forma es insano!

Back to English: Ronny K forms is insano!

Back to Spanish: ¡Las formas de Ronny K son insano!

Back to English: The forms of Ronny K are insano!


O, the MADNESS!!!
